The route will be operated by Swiss business aviation specialist PrivatAir on behalf of the German flag-carrier.

PrivatAir will use 108-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft on the route. The configuration will include 24 business-class seats.

Lufthansa already serves Riyadh daily from its hub at Frankfurt. It says the new thrice-weekly service from Munich will begin on 26 April.
